Dating / Networking Site

**_Project Overview_** **Overview** The following document is an overview of some of the features that we hope to include in the CLife project. This is not an exhaustive list. It is our intention that those involved in this project will provide additional input that will help refine this list to help create a better final product. A current Mock-up of [login to view URL] is accessible at: [[login to view URL]][1]. User Id: clife, Password: clife This Mock-up is subject to change, but is a fairly good representation of the finished product. Some areas that need design work include the menu structure and the profile layout. We are considering using a MySQL database operating in a Linux environment, but are open to other options. **Clife Vision** - Self-perpetuating, on-line, international community. - promoted primarily by its users rather than through un-solicited email and paid advertising - the "Community" side will remain free for any user who creates an account that contains a minimal amount of information. - the "Dating" side will offer a free trial period after which users must either promote [login to view URL] or pay for using certain "Dating" features. ## Deliverables ** ** Main Features 1.
